The video was interesting. Seems like a nice way to start a shopping search if you have a picture with something you want where the look matters. Eg, cars, furniture. etc.

I have not compared it. Have you had issues in this front? If you are asking in human terms, its instantaneous to start, it simply creates a few files etc and starts a process. If you were using Sqlite, there is no extra associated process

Not directly an answer, but similar what if thinking got me wondering: wouldn't it be cool to be able to use postgres much like how you use sqlite with python? I implemented this idea as a pip-installable python package, https:/

I've done both, and been on the receiving end of both, but hadn't thought of this similarity. I think it's a good analogy.

Hm, not exhaustive but I think these are potentially useful to you: The deeplearning.ai math basics for deep learning, seems self-contained. MiniTorch repo (implement your own tiny torch) seems also helpful to understand what goes on during

How did you get access to the model? I have been waiting for weeks, and am still waiting, to get access to Llama2 (released a month+ ago), and access to this model goes through the same form, so I'm not very hopeful. Are you getting it

Does anyone know of good tools to practice tone-listening and recognition for cantonese? or tools for drilling jyutping more generally, I've used https://chaaklau.github.io/cantorocks/ , but I would like to also tr

If you have basic Mandarin knowledge, you could try Duolingo's Cantonese course for Mandarin speakers. I think it is helpful to get familiar with how words are pronounced and what expressions people use in vernacular Cantonese so far.

I really like this idea, though I haven't tried it yet. Spotify has lyrics for many songs, but for characters the first hurdle is you cannot really sing along even with the lyrics unless you know them. Is there some easy way one change

I'm not sure the author will ever read this, but I am also a PhD student, have been one for far too long, and in the past have struggled with similar `time management' issues, though I'm not sure that's really the proble

I should mention focusing on doing a few interesting problems, rather than many not so interesting ones, is also one way to help yourself understand more deeply.

3Blue1Brown videos seem like a good resource to use along any book. My experience as a math major (in the distant past) is that the kind of visualization the author shows you is also something you want to imitate in your head when you are l

Instant Pot. Can be used as a rice cooker, slow cooker, pressure cooker (mostly known for this last use) Though probably not as good for rice specifically as an actual high-end rice cooker, it greatly increased the range of foods I eat. Ma

After the cold war ended (last three decades), I'm not sure of any case where America has been coup'ing countries in South America. Do you know some cases?

It's a strange article to illustrate inflation. It mentions there is a drought that has made a local river dry, which was a tourist attraction driving a lot of traffic through the town. This meant a lot less customers, a lot less pay a

Have you checked out the Ray library? I use it for this type of scenario and it works well, without as much effort as it would take otherwise.

I can relate to this quite a bit, I personally think it is my biggest weakness. I have managed to do a few things despite this but just as an example, a few weeks ago I could not bring myself to work on a 5 minute presentation about work th

Iron age Greeks used the word cyclopean also to refer to the ruins of Mycenae nearby, dating from the bronze age only ~500 years before their time. It is comforting for me to know it was already a thing back then to resort to ancient aliens

Megalithic seems more fitting than cyclopean to me.

GPT-3 is trained on text prediction, and there's been a lot of commentary about the generation aspect, but some of the applications that excite me most are not necessarily about the generation of text, instead, GPT-3 (and also other la

Well, first, some schools are going online only for the latter half of the semester. But my understanding of the current guidance is that this is not enough to meet the in-person requirements, and so students may have to leave anyway and mi

I think the form would benefit from having the calendar year as well, as these numbers change enough over a few years.

A lot of matrix concepts sound a lot more natural to me if I first think of what they mean in terms of vector spaces. For example, I think one can derive associativity of matrix multiplication less tediously from the observation that every

I think one reason would fault tolerance. Is there a fault tolerance layer in GNU parallel? last time I checked their homepage ( a few minutes ago), there was no reference to fault tolerance. Another reason is, perhaps, scheduling.

Thinking about it again, from my calculation below, if those packets are coming from RAM then you are bound to, say, 25GB/s incoming, 25GB/s outgoing. Since Haswell L1 cache seems to allow a peak bandwidth of 64 byte loads + 32 b
